Emulators and Simulators

Wanna see the features of a router before you buy? Tired of insipid
data sheets without even a feature list? Need clues in advance with
the setup? Wanna see the differences between different mutations of
the same model number? See:

Linksys:
http://www.linksysdata.com/ui/

DLink:
http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1457

Netgear:
Nothing

Belkin:
Nothing

2wire:
Nothing

Speedstream 5100 DSL modem:
http://forums.ricknmiasworld.net/5100b/modeminfo.htm

Duz anyone know of any others that are online?

This is kinda neat, but I keep getting something along the lines of:

/*
The requested URL /ui/WAP54G/v3/3.01/site.asp was not found on this
server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
*/

when I poke around too deeply...

There are some broken links and dead web pages. The current firmware
versions seem to work well, while the older hardware and firmware
versions are kinda messed up. I don't know exactly whom to contact to
fix. The domain is owned by Linksys so I it's a Linksys problem, but
I've verified that Linksys support does not know about it. Search for
linksysdata on the knowledgebase web page yields nothing. Email to
webmaster bounces. It might even be a secret project by some internal
group with a clue. Dunno.

If Linksys managment ever figures out that it's a good thing, I
seriously expect to see URL's that are a mile long that can't be
bookmarked, a sluggish web server, and everything boxed into frames
surrounded by advertising. Just like the new and un-improved Linksys
web pile. In anticipation of this event, I tried to grab the whole
site with wget, but can't seem to get a reliable download as it barfs
on the broken links.

The DLink pages are in better shape, but fail to have up to date
firmware versions. Some of the firmware updates that support WPA are
not included.

In my never humble opinion, all router manufacturers should have such
pages.

Try again. This works for me using Firefox 1.5beta3:
http://www.linksysdata.com/ui/WAP54G/v3/3.01/Setup.htm
No errors on any pages. I all tried all the WAP54G pages. Even the
help worked. Where did the "site.asp" come from?

Thanks for the link, Jeff. First time I've seen any web pages with config
screens. I tried all the BEFW11S4 pages and they work. No idea about
"site.asp". Same version of Firefox that you're running. Cheers!

Irritating that Linksys also haven't kept up to date with the firmware
updates for all it's products.
It seems as if these companies have all sorts of goodies hidden within
their sites.Came across this one http://support.dlink.com/techtool/
unfortunately the links to the emulators are broken(still you provided a
link for those).As I live in the UK I always use
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/international/firmware/ to find and download
f/ware updates.

It's not too bad. Mostly, they have the first release of the major
updates, and are behind on the minor ones. For example, the new
WRT54G v5 model shows 1.00.2 while current is 1.00.4. There's really
no difference in the screen shots, only bug fixes, so the older
version is fine.

Chuckle. It's their Training Guides, which I think is what the
support people walk you through on the phone. I tried the DI-624.
It's very long, tedious, not really complete, and misleading in a few
places. Doesn't cover every model DLink makes. Looks like a good
start that was dropped for reasons unknown. It's a good idea, but I
think could have been done much better.

Same with Linksys:
ftp://ftp.linksys.com
It's saved my posterior more than once when their web pile was
comatose (during a painful update) and I needed a download. Same with
it as a repository of old firmware versions.

From your link, (I'm using Firefox 1.0.7) try:

Setup
AP Mode
AP Client
[Site Survey] opens a new window
Refresh
<Error message as above>

Try harder using Google.

>Netgear
ftp://downloads.netgear.com/ (nothing useful)

>Westell
ftp://ftp.westel.com/pub (nothing useful)

>SMC
Google shows that there once was an ftp.smc.com but it appears
to be missing.

>Buffalo
ftp://buffalowireless.net/pub/
Looks like someones photo collection from a trip to Europe.
I wonder if it might have been hacked. (I didn't do it).

>3Com
ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub (big mess)
The MIB's directory is where I get my SNMP MIB files.
ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/wireless

>2Wire
Nothing

Orinoco
Google shows that there once was an ftp.wavelan.com and
ftp.orinocowireless.com/pub but they're gone.

Proxim
ftp://ftp.proxim.com appears to be valid, (it's pingable) but
there's no ftp access from outside the Proxim firewall. I guess
they don't trust me (for good reason).

Did I miss any?
